The United States wants to advance the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Democrat Ben Cardin, stated this during a joint press conference with Armenian National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan in Yerevan Friday.

The US has many tools which it is able to use in its relations with various countries, the senator said.

The US has different relations with different countries—strategic cooperation, security arrangements, Cardin said, adding that he does not want to specify how they can use this mixed toolkit, but the US is interested and wants to advance the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan,.
